All staff are very friendly and professional. As the pool and gym are downstairs we used them daily. We booked the adult swim and this is easy to do online. This apartment is in a great location and we intend to return.

Comfy furniture, bed and hot shower. Everything to make a real home from home,with the added bonus of a heated swimming pool. Beautiful location, an ideal base for touring the stunning area. The whole complex is well organised and managed. Everywhere was clean and the staff were so friendly. Highly recommend a relaxing stay at this better than expected apartment.

Complimentary items, such as tea, coffee, milk, dishwasher tabs, loo roll, soap, washing up liquid were useful initially as the supermarkets were located a distance away in Penrith or Keswick. There is a fantastic farm shop/cafe 1 mile away on the A66 which sells quality essentials and very impressive breakfasts. The holiday village is situated in a beautiful location, with fabulous vews from the balcony. We used the resorts pool and spa facilities every day, booking sessions in advance. Having a restaurant and bar on site was handy, although we travelled to local pubs for our evening meals.
